I'm not sure which of the five writers actually penned these words from the movie Jeremiah Johnson but they're still true: "...a tribe's greatness is figured on how mighty its enemies be."

I guess, the bigger the secret list of enemies, the greater you feel about your position in the society you think you lead.
